Standard past participles in Russian are formed using the suffixes -н / -т (построенный, умерший). In dialects, alongside these, non-standard forms with the suffix -ши (построивши, умерши) are also used. The first type (построивши) is derived from transitive verbs; the second type (умерши) is derived from intransitive verbs.
